Chapter 8 Redemption of the Ancestral Home

Further? An Lushan really has higher ambitions.

Yan Zhuang smiled at the corner of his mouth, and said: "Governor, although His Majesty is old now, he is ambitious and has a pioneering heart. ”

"What the gentleman said is very true, if it weren't for the side merits, the governor of Pontus would not be able to do what he is today." A sly smile appeared at the corner of An Lushan's mouth, and he motioned for Yan Zhuang to continue.

Yan Zhuang was overjoyed, and continued to speak: "Dudu, one of the seven tribes of the Xi tribe, the Nujun tribe has invaded the border the most, why don't we take the Nujun tribe, kill him thousands of heads, and make a victory to the imperial court." ”

"Angry Ministers?" An Lushan nodded, and sneered: "Li Tagu, the leader of the Nudu Tribe, has repeatedly despised the Governor of Bendu, and the Governor of Bendu has long wanted to teach him a lesson, but the Nudu Department is the largest department of the Xi Clan, and the entire clan has 30,000 soldiers and horses, and the troops are not under our army. ”

"The governor doesn't need to worry, although there are many soldiers and horses in the Nu Army, they are scattered within a radius of several hundred miles, and there are no more than a thousand people in each place, and our army does not need to attack on a large scale, just send thousands of elites to attack the one that violates the border the most, and kill most of it, so that it can not only offer the imperial court, but also deter Li Tagu."

Yan Zhuang knew very well that the grassland was hit by a snowstorm, and the various tribes of the Xi tribe must be dispersed as much as possible, so that they could find enough forage for their cattle and sheep, and if they were gathered together, the cattle and sheep would die faster and more.

And if they gather together and enter the Tang Dynasty on a large scale, they will definitely anger the Tang Dynasty Emperor, who is happy with their achievements, and launch a large-scale Northern Expedition, while the sporadic small number of soldiers and horses entering the Tang Dynasty to plunder food will not anger the Tang Dynasty.

An Lushan touched his belly and said coldly: "The governor of Bendu is really a little unbearable, if the Xi people are all dead, what will the governor of Pontus do to offer the court in the future?"

"The governor is smart, the Xi people are cunning rabbits, and the Khitan people are birds." Yan Zhuang smiled slyly.

"Haha! Mr. is really my son, and if I can get Mr. to help, why can't the governor of Pontus be on the side. An Lushan touched his belly and laughed excitedly.

"The subordinates are only the governor of the horse." Solemn and joyful.

"Report, Governor, Inspector Yan Zhenqing asks to see."

"Yan Zhenqing?"

An Lushan and Yan Zhuang were both stunned.

Yan Zhenqing only has an eight-rank official position, but his calligraphy is unmatched, so he has some fame.

Yan Zhuang rolled his eyes, and said hurriedly: "Governor, Yan Zhenqing must have quietly entered the city, if he already knows about Dalang's affairs, Governor must not take care of his personal feelings." ”

"It's just a scholar, the governor of Pontus knows it, come and open the door to greet him."

"Oops! Yan Yushi, the governor of Pontus has lost his welcome, he has lost his welcome, hahaha! The moment the middle door opened, An Lushan greeted him with a smile on his face.

Seeing An Lushan's chubby body and a simple smiling expression, Yan Zhenqing felt comfortable in his heart, and immediately saluted: "Andu Governor is polite, Xia Guan is only the supervision of the eighth grade, how dare you bother the Governor to greet him personally, Andu Governor is too polite." ”

"Yan Yushi is on the order of the Son of Heaven to inspect Yingzhou, even if there are only nine grades, he is also the messenger of the Son of Heaven, how can he be respected by grade, hahaha!" An Lushan smiled even more.

Stretching out his hand not to hit the smiling person, although An Lushan was politely a little too much, Yan Zhenqing's heart was still relatively comfortable.

"Yan Yushi, come on, come on, please inside."

"Come on, serve tea, prepare a banquet......"

An Lushan was too polite, which made it difficult for Yan Zhenqing to say anything about An Qingzong.

"Governor Andu, I heard that the eldest prince is skilled in bows and horses, and he will be my Tang Dynasty general in the future, I don't know if I can see it."

When An Lushan heard this, he was stunned in his heart, and glanced at Yan Zhuang.

Yan Zhuang understood, and exclaimed: "Yan Yushi doesn't know, Da Lang made a mistake today and did something wrong, the governor was very angry, and after a lesson, he was already locked in the firewood room and was not allowed to leave for a month." ”

"Hmph, this rebel, if it weren't for his mother's intercession, he would have been killed on the spot." An Lushan pretended to be angry.

"Andudo doesn't need to be too angry, young men will inevitably make mistakes, just teach more." Yan Zhenqing persuaded.

"Let Yan Yushi see and smile, the guest room has been prepared, come all the way, you must stay for a few more days, and let the governor of Pontus do more of the friendship of the landlord."

"Thank you Governor Andu, then the subordinate will be respectful and obedient."

The banquet needed to be prepared for an hour, and Yan Zhenqing and his entourage went to the guest room to rest under the guidance of the servants of the Governor's Mansion.

"Yushi, as seen by the following officials, Governor Andu does not show favoritism, but is an upright person."

"It's too early to say, to see through a person, one or two contacts are not enough."

Yan Zhenqing always felt that An Lushan was a little too polite, and his words revealed a little hypocrisy, of course, this was just his intuition.

"Governor, Yan Zhenqing really knows about Da Lang?"

"Hmph, uninteresting scholar, the governor of Pontus is so polite, he can't stop his mouth, fortunately Mr. expected it earlier." An Lushan was furious.

"Governor, what is our next step?"

"Send someone to closely monitor Yan Zhenqing's every move, and you must not let him know what he shouldn't know."

"Yes, Governor."

White Wolf Village is still White Wolf Village, without the slightest change, but Li An is rich now, and it is a huge amount of more than 600 yuan, for this reason, he is in a good mood, looking at the White Wolf Village in front of him, he feels much more pleasing to the eye than before.

However, after having money in hand, it is very unpleasant to look at the two dilapidated houses in the family, and since you have money, there is no reason not to improve your life.

Ang Lee's current residence is half a mile away from the ancestral house he sold, but there is a large open space in the middle, so he can see the ancestral mansion as soon as he goes out every day, which used to be only to see, but now, Ang Lee wants to redeem it.

"Kunxiong, Feiyu, it seems that we haven't lived in it since the Lu family bought our ancestral house."

Li An stared at the ancestral house in the distance.

"Big brother, are you planning to buy the ancestral mansion back?"

"Big brother, the ancestral house is ours, and it should be bought back."

Li An nodded and said softly, "Kunxiong, you go to the Lu family to have a look." ”

"Yes, big brother."

"Big brother, today's events ......" Li Feiyu was a little nervous.

Li An smiled indifferently: "Isn't it just beating An Qingzong?" It's no big deal, you don't have to be so nervous. ”

"Big brother, do you want to go and say hello to Brother Shouyu first."

Li An waved his hand: "No need, just tell him next time you hunt, this time we are fleeing to the northwest, so even if the officers and soldiers want to pursue, they will go to the northwest, and the White Wolf Village is so remote that they can find it." ”

Li An is very relaxed on the surface, but he is also a little apprehensive in his heart, but life has to go on, as long as he is vigilant, it will be good if he is out of the limelight, in case he is unfortunately discovered, it is not too late to go to White Wolf Mountain.

"Big brother, big brother."

"Kunxiong, how's it going?"

"Big brother, the Lu family is about to move back to Youzhou, the house they live in has been sold to the Cui family, our ancestral house is asking for fifty yuan, but the Cui family is only willing to bid forty yuan, and the Zhao family is only willing to bid thirty-five yuan, and it has not been negotiated yet."

Li An was overjoyed when he heard this, he just wanted to redeem the ancestral house, so he caught up with the Lu family and moved back to Youzhou, this kind of God helped me and I felt very comfortable.

"Kunxiong, this is a piece of gold, worth sixty yuan, and the matter of redeeming the ancestral house will be handed over to you." Li An took out a handful of gold from his arms and handed it to Li Kunxiong.

"Don't worry, big brother, I'll leave it to me."

"Feiyu, young sprouts, clean up, we'll move tonight."

"Yes, big brother."

"Got it, big brother."

Fei Yu and Tender Sprout looked very excited, after all, they were about to say goodbye to these two temporary houses that were leaking everywhere, and from now on they would live in a tall and spacious ancestral house, and they would no longer have to starve and freeze.

Looking at Li Feiyu and Young Sprouts who were busy, Li Anxin sighed with emotion, their family is finally going to live a good life, and this is just the beginning, Li An has more plans waiting to be implemented one by one.

The repurchase of the ancestral house went very smoothly, Li Kunxiong persuaded the Lu family at a price of 45 yuan, and immediately made a transaction, which is only 15 yuan more than when they sold the ancestral house at a price of 30 yuan.

"Big brother, it's all packed."

Li An nodded and said softly, "Okay, let's go to the ancestral mansion immediately." ”

Put the packed luggage on the sleigh car, Li An and the four immediately went to the ancestral house half a mile away, at this moment, their hearts were very excited, after leaving the ancestral house for more than a year, they could finally go back.

The ancestral house of Li An's family is not a mansion, covering an area of only a few acres, divided into two courtyards before and after, the front yard is built in the middle of the main hall, there are two wings on the east and west sides, due south against the wall is the firewood room and the house, and the gate of the house is on the Xun position in the southeast direction.

The front and back yards are separated by the courtyard wall and the gate, push open the gate is the backyard, the backyard is the residence of the head of the house, there are more rooms, the front is north of the three main rooms, there is an ear room on each side of the main house, there are three side rooms on the left and right sides, due south near the gate and the courtyard wall is a corridor with ventilation, the open space in the middle is paved with stone bricks, but there are also some places to plant flowers and plants.

Although it is not a mansion, it is already a big house for the four members of Ang Lee's family, which is enough for them to live comfortably.

The location of the house is in the westernmost part of the village, the location seems a little off, but it is also relatively clean, and half a mile to the west is the temporary house built by Li Ang and the four people.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"

The moment the door was opened, the dust and snowflakes raised made everyone cough.

"Big brother, this place has not been inhabited for more than a year, and it seems that it needs to be cleaned well before it can be inhabited."

"Yes! Big brother, we've all been gone for more than a year. ”

Li An looked at the familiar and unfamiliar courtyard in front of him, and said softly: "It's not early, don't worry about the front yard first, clean up the backyard, and we can live immediately." ”

"Yes, big brother."
